A welfare check led officers to the couple\u2019s Encino, Calif., residence, where DeLuca was discovered in the bathroom and Kaye in the pantry<\/a> \u2014 both with gunshot wounds to the head. They were pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

Neighbors told KTLA<\/a> there was an attempted break-in at the property just days prior. \u201cMy renter saw someone hopping the fence back on Thursday and she called 911,\u201d neighbor Amee Faggen shared. \u201cBut we haven\u2019t heard anything since then, so we have no idea if it\u2019s even related or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Encino home had previously gained attention as the former residence of rapper Juice WRLD, who died in 2019.<\/p>\n
